Alex was there.
She was like those cookies that were on the counter. You only wanted
them because they were there. Emma, now she was a different story. I
really wanted her, or did I need her? Ever since the night she went
to the ravine with meI was mixing up my feelings adn thoughts.
Sometimes I even had a hard time driving. Speaking of driving, Alex
wouldn't even get into the car with me sometimes. She would get so
mad, she would just slam the door, start shuffling away, cursing
until she got to the school doors.
"Alex get in the car"
I said slightly easing on the gas pedal. "You've walked to
school the last three days, please just get in the car?" She
just looked straight ahead. "Alex, come on ... you know that I
only want you" LIE "You're the only one I think
about" LIE "Please just get in the car" She
looked at me. Finally, she had eye contact with me. "Drop dead!"
and that was it. I parked my car in the parking lot. Just sitting in
my orange civic I thought of her. The one that I need. Her
blonde hair draping over her shoulders. As she walked her hips
swaying, her hair bouncing, and her smile glistening. I grabbed my
bag, lifted my sunglasses up on-top of my backwards baseball cap, and
ran towards her. "Hey, um I need to talk to you" She turned
around as her hair sparkled in the sunshine. " So, um uhh
remember that night" I was trying to phrqase the words together
without sounding like a complete idiot. "Jay, it meant nothing
to me" She said as she picked something off of her black
sweater. "Alright, so uh we agree. That night meant nothing.
Cool, so uh how about we make a night to remember?" Her eyes
rolled, that meant she didn't want to. "Alrihgt, nice way to
take a joke greenpeace." I walked off leaving her there. She
wants me...
"Jay is an asshole I don't understand why I stayed with him for so long." She was blabbering on, just loud enough for me to hear. "Hun, don't let him get to you" They both looked at me in disgust. Ok so when did Alex and Paige become best buds? Thats what I liked abotu Emma, she dind't change for anyone. Except she did change, for me...whatever. If I could just get a way to talk to her, without her relaizing that I wanted to talk to her. "Hey, nature freak, heard from Sean latley?" She just kept walking. "I don't answer to 'nature freak'." Her hair bouncing once more as she walked away. Damn...
